An easy to use native pascal toolkit that allows to create and manage OpenGL contexts in a platform independent way. GLPT is available under the MIT license.
Some screenshots on different platforms.

Using GLPT is easy, you only need to include the GLPT unit and create a window. Then run the event loop and do all your application stuff there. There are numerous examples included to help you to make a jump start.
uses
GLPT;
...
GLPT_Init;
window := GLPT_CreateWindow(0, 0, width, height, 'Simple example', GLPT_GetDefaultContext);
while not GLPT_WindowShouldClose(window) do
begin
//do your application and OpenGL magic here
GLPT_SwapBuffers(window);
GLPT_PollEvents;
end;
GLPT_DestroyWindow(window);
GLPT_Terminate;

GLPT is planned to be a simple and easy to use library. When working on the code please consider the following;
- flat API, so no classes and no objects
- no external dependencies are allowed, also adding FPC units should be considered carefully
- only OpenGL context handling, no audio, font or UI included to name a few
GLPT is made possible thanks to people that are willing to spend their time and lend their skills, helping to code and submit new ideas. The following persons (in alphabetical order) have committed to this project.
